SAVORY RASPBERRY & CHEESE TARTS

printable PDF version
Rosemary grows to huge proportions in the Hill Country. One tiny plant can become a five foot wide and four foot high bush in three short years. And they don’t freeze back in the winter either, but rather retain that deep green color to add some color to the winter landscape. So naturally, in addition to using the bushes in our flower beds, we use the spiky bracts of the rosemary in whatever culinary creations we can create around their bracing flavor. We’ve found that we love the taste of rosemary with our Raspberry Peach Chipotle Glaze. It’s a sensory experience that’s innovative and it just plain tastes good! That zesty combination of flavors translates brilliantly to these tasty little tarts. Perfect finger foods for holiday parties!
